Isamu never really talked to anyone, throught middle school he was too busy to have close friendships with his classmates. He was usually running or training in volleyball, and deep down he wanted to be like his older brother, Tenma. Tenma was known as the small giant, and he was a well known volleyball player during high school. Isamu and Tenma never saw each other because Tenma moved to Tokyo with their parents, while Isamu insisted to stay in Miyagi, so he could attend Karasuno like his brother. After middle school ended, Isamu trained hard to build up his endurance, and did other things like basic training and workouts. He also went and trained with high schoolers, on things like blocking and spiking. He had went to nekoma high and they acccepted to let him join during practices, so he could work on his reflexes and defense against faster opponents. The Nekoma players began calling him death trap, or Shiwana, because of his attitude and ability to draw someone in for a kill. Nekoma even offered him a place on the team since he already knew their players, but he refused, but agreed to keep in touch. A few months had passed and he was ready to attend karasuno, and hopefully get into their volleyball team. He locked up his home and left, sending a quick text to his family. He wore the basic Karasuno uniform, but had his blazer unbuttoned a little so he could breathe better. He had a bag slung over his shoulder, filled with school supplies and money for lunch, as well as volleyball shoes and a hairtie. He glanced over in a stores window and looked at himself, smiling a bit. Isamu had a skinny but lean build, but his shoulders, arms, and back had the most muscle, and he was 5'5. He had grey eyes with small hints of blue around his pupil. His hair was black, it was messy and longer on the top, bangs that would often cover his eyes, and it was longer in front of his ears, framing his face. (Okay that's confusing, just picture sinon from sao.) Isamu attended his classes and the day ended quickly, and he headed to the gym to look for the boys volleyball team.

Isamu arrived to the gym and peaked his head inside to see two others waiting. One was about 5'3 with orange hair, and the other was about 6'0 with black hair. He stepped inside and smiled a bit, interrupting their argument "hey! Are you two apart of the team?" He asked but the taller one shook his head "no we're waiting." Kageyama looked him up and down and shrugged Isamu off, while the shorter one stared at him in awe and started babbling about his height. A few minutes later three guys walked in wearing Karasuno team jackets, and Isamu turned to them and learned their names, Sugawara, Daichi, and Tanaka. The three guys introduced themselves as members of the team and talked to the two others, who turned out to be Hinata and Kageyama. The team captain, Daichi turned to Isamu "Oh yeah, we didn't see you in middle school, where are you from?" He asked Isamu, who pointed at Hinata. "I'm from Hinatas middle school, Yukigaoka, although they never had a volleyball team until the end, and I never made an effort to stand out" he said and put his hand down. Isamu looked away "besides it was the closest school, and my family lives in Tokyo, so I have to walk.." He explained quickly and looked back at the others. Daichi looked at the paper and read the name "your name is Isamu Udai.. alright, your a little short but this could work." Daichi confirmed and hinatas face lit up and he ran over to Isamu, unable to control his excitement. "You have the same last name as the small giant!!" He pointed out and kageyama seemed a little confused but scoffed, declaring that Isamu wouldn't be able to beat him. After agruging the vice principal came in, and hinata and kageyama were going to battle each other one on one, which contradicted the whole purpose of the game. Isamu sighed but was intrested in the game, while the vice principal just complained about the two. Kageyama started with a jump serve, which Isamu felt like he needed to hit. He dropped his bag and ran forward, he jumped and hit the ball with a intense gaze, staring down kageyama with almost black eyes. The ball flew by kageyama and slammed against the wall with a loud thud, and the third years gasped and murmured with surprise. Hinatas eyes sparkled and kageyama was surprised, staring at Isamu like he was a god or something. Isamu smirked and moved some hair out of face as hinata excitedly demanded that kageyama send the next ball to him. Isamu apologized and quickly went back over to the others, who started talking to him and complimenting his spike. Kageyama sent the next ball to hinata, which bounced off his arms and hit the vice principal right in the face.

Tanaka and Isamu covered their mouths in an attempt to hide their laughter, as a toupe flew off the vice principals head and landed on Daichi. Daichi was chewed out by the vice principal and everyone was sworn to secrecy, but hinata and kageyama began to argue again. Daichi got mad, and sugawara, tanaka, and Isamu all stepped away from him and looked away. Daichi told the first years that they were not allowed to participate until they could cooperate and kicked them out of the gym, while sugawara and tanaka sent each other a look. "Ya know boss, we do need players" Tanaka mentioned and Sugawara agreed. "Yes i know, but they need go learn to work together first, but you.." Daichi turned to Isamu and smiled "your a hundred percent on the team, you strike me as a solid wing spiker, and your spikes are amazing. You said your name was Isamu Udai right?" Isamu nodded "yes captain" he confirmed but sighed. "About what Hinata said earlier.." Isamu looked Daichi in the eyes and sent him a determined look, "I know my brother is the small giant, but please don't give me expectations just because of that. I want to be known for my own power and skills, that's why I joined this team, because I believe that you guys can help me with that." Sugawara smiled "Okay that's easy enough, but we will expect you to try your best and maybe you can even surpass your brother" sugawara said in an optimistic tone, and Isamu smiled. "I will! I'll try my best and work my hardest, thank you Daichi-senpai, Sugawara-senpai!" He bowed in appreciation and Daichi seemed a little off guard, while sugawara put his hands up "h-hey, there's no need for formalities, you don't need to bow" sugawara reassured but tanaka smirked "yeah! Call me senpai and I'll teach you the ropes!" Tanaka said as he pointed to himself, while sugawara looked at tanaka with some doubt. "Anyway, please refer to me as Isamu! I don't care about the last name thing much, to be honest.." Isamu's mood changed and he looked away, a dark aura surrounding him. "I have a feeling that others will compare me to my brother, so please don't use my last name if possible." The three agreed and Daichi patted Isamu's back "alright then, go change and warm up, practice will start soon" he instructed as some others walked in, already in their workout clothes.

After Isamu changed and warmed up, he began practicing with the others on the court. The door opened and tanaka ran over to the door, as a woman walked in. Tanaka complimented her and offered to carry her bag, but she refused. Tanaka wrapped his arms around himself and smiled, saying how he liked it when she ignored him, as sugawara closed the door with an almost uncomfortable looking smile. "Uh.. is that a kink or something?" Isamu mumbled to himself, staring over at tanaka. "Hey Daichi, who's that?" Isamu asked and pointed to the woman "oh that's kiyoko, she's our manager" he explained and Isamu nodded in understanding. They continued practice until a whistle was blown, isamu wiped off his forehead and went over to drink some water. A team member walked up to Isamu and handed him a team jacket, which Isamu took with a smile. "Thank you" he said and walked over to his bag to check his phone. Isamu heard a "captain" from outside, and saw that the other two first years were still waiting outside, as tanaka was laughing and saying he was psychic. Isamu almost lost a braincell looking at them "uh.. they're still here?" He asked himself and tied his hair out of his face, trying to cool off.

Isamu got his bag and walked to the door, as he heard the two challenging Daichi to a match. "Yeah okay, I'm out of here, see you tomorrow." Isamu waved to Sugawara and Tanaka and walked past the two, but Kageyama grabbed Isamu's shoulder. "Hey, your not leaving yet! You have to fight against me, come on!" Isamu brushed Kageyamas hand off and glared at him "no I don't have to do anything, I have no time for someone who constantly argues with a new team member. Look, I won't get along with a supposed setter, who's not willing to try things in different ways for his team, that's complete bullshit." Isamu faced kageyama and stepped forward, as tanaka and Sugawara tensed up, seeing Isamu's glare. "I'm a spiker, I like doing things my way, and if the setter can't adapt to me, then he's no use. I'm trying to be my best, now stop bothering me." Isamu pushed kageyama back and started walking home. Kageyama seemed surprised, and the others got a chill down their spine. Hinata stayed quiet, and watched Isamu walk away "the small giants brother huh..." He mumbled and got that look in his eyes. "Man, he's intimidating" they all thought. Isamu put some headphones in and walked home, enjoying the fresh air. He texted his brother, excited that he got onto the team and walked into his house. Isamu made himself some food and clean up his house. "Oh man I'm so excited! Tomorrow's the day I officially start on the team, come on Isamu, you can do this!" He changed into some sweats and watched some videos on volleyball before going to bed.
